zanhar1 [i]How come moody see through the invisibility cloak in 4th year when it was supposed to be one of the Hallows.[/i] He has a magical eye that has the ability to do so. [i]One supplementary, also on the same night when children were evacuated from Hogwarts, how can they disparate all the children (again the same reason for not being apparating according to me.)[/i] If I am correct Hogwarts only has a barrier to keep intruders from apperating in, but it allows students to get out; like a locked door, no one gets in but the person9s0 behind the door can unlock it and get out. [i]Why Dumbledore’s wand was not snapped in two when he was buried as it was tradition in wizards to snap the wand when one was buried.[/i] This one I'm just making a hypothesis on so to speak; Maybe it's to show he's a more honorable wizard. Sort of like burring a king vs burring a commoner. [i]The most common one, Moody (Barty Crouch junior) could have turned anything into a portkey and sent Harry to Voldemort much earlier instead of waiting for the final task[/i] Well that doesn't make for a fun story. [i]Neither Sirius nor Lupin told Harry about Snape and lily’s friendship?[/i] everyone keeps secrets, that's not a flaw, it's a part of life. [i]To apparate and to disparate one must know the target…at least they should have seen it once…Then when Voldemort calls his entire Death Eaters by pressing dark mark, how will they know the place where Voldemort is? How can they apparate to that place?[/i] he probably lets them know where he is. Just so you know I'm not particularly yelling at you, seeing as I did notice that you said you didn't write this. All I was trying to do here is state my opinions and analyzing the author's point of view. Of course all books have their flaws and I think the author managed to list a few, hence why I did not say anything about those points.

lukita I remeber you said it once that you like HP.. Not that critisizing is a bad thing, but you sound extremely bitter right now. :P

ilovereading [i]How come moody see through the invisibility cloak in 4th year when it was supposed to be one of the Hallows. [...]And also, if Harry’s invisibility cloak deflects spells, how was Malfoy able to cast the spell on Harry in the sixth year?[/i] Moody being able to see through the invisibility cloak can be explained - it can reflect spells, but eye is not a spell itself, just an object on which spells were used. So techinicaly, no spell was used on [i]the cloak[/i]. As for Malfoy, yes, that probably is a mistake. [i]How come all the order members apparate inside the hog’s head when the air around was supposed to become thick and Harry was not able to disparate from there. One supplementary, also on the same night when children were evacuated from Hogwarts, how can they disparate all the children (again the same reason for not being apparating according to me.) [/i] Maybe the trap was "reseted" after the Death Eathers thought it was a false alarm. And after the Order memebers apparated, they used the counter spells to enable apparation for students. I agree that it was never explained, but I don't view it as a major mistake that is against the rules in the book. [i]Why Dumbledore’s wand was not snapped in two when he was buried as it was tradition in wizards to snap the wand when one was buried.[/i] Respect? His wish? Or maybe they just weren't able to destory it. XD [i]Also about the elder wand. Apparently Draco Disarmed DD n thus the wand’s allegiance shifted to him. But in order it to be Harry’s, Harry needed to Disarm Draco. But I read n reread the 7th book, and Harry didn’t Disarm Draco, he merely took his wand by force. And we all know just taking a wand by force will not shift its allegiance. Then how come Harry became the elder wand’s true master?[/i] No we don't know that taking the wand by force will not shift its alliance. This was the case in the Tale of the Three Brothers where the first brother was killed in his sleep and the murderer than owned the Elder wand. [i]There’s one serious flaw in the book….how on earth was nick revived in Harry’s second year when ghosts can’t eat or drink?[/i] I wondered that too, maybe they just puted the drink through him...? :D [i]And isn’t it just too much too assume that no one died a natural death while they had the elder wand? [/i] No. [i]Fine Draco won the power of the Elder wand after disarming Dumbledore. He did not take the wand by force did he? And still he’s the master of the elder wand. McGonagall got stunned by 5 people, u mean to say none of them got the power of her wand because they never took it forcibly???[/i] They [i]could[/i] have used her wand if they phisicaly took it and try to, but they didn't. Stealing wand isn't normal. [i]The most common one, Moody (Barty Crouch junior) could have turned anything into a portkey and sent Harry to Voldemort much earlier instead of waiting for the final task.[/i] Supposedly he feared Dumbledore would suspect it. But yeah, this not a very good expenation. More a sloppy work at plot construction. [i]Fred and George did not notice Peter Pettigrew’s name on the marauders map when they had it?[/i] 1. There are hundreds of people on that map. 2. They didn't knew who he was. Even if they did saw him, he would be just another student for them. The only way they would suspect anything would be if they saw where Scabers is and then found it on the map as Peter Peetigrew. And they seemed to use it more as a way of sneaking out of school undetected and avoiding professors. [i]Instead of catching the Hogwarts train to come to Hogwarts, why can parents use side along apparition till Hogsmead to bring their children who don’t have a license yet? Dumbledore used the same with Harry when they went to meet Slughorn.[/i] Some parents are muggles, some parents don't have a license themselves and honestly, comming to school by holding your mommy's hand. Seriously? [i]Neither Sirius nor Lupin told Harry about Snape and lily’s friendship?[/i] Obviously not. She stoped hanging out with him in latter years, so maybe they just didn't find it important enough to bring it up. [i]Flitwick was stunned by Snape in HBP and Snape has power over Flitwick’s wand too[/i] Yes. Soo? If he phisicaly took it and try to use it, he could. [i]In Beedle the bard it is explained tat, the wizard loses his thinking capability as a human if transfigured to an animal… - Then in GOF, Krum transformed to a shark (of course only head part), how was he able to think properly?[/i] In Beedle the Bard it is expained that wizard does NOT lose his thinking capacity as a human, only his taliking ability. [i]To apparate and to disparate one must know the target…at least they should have seen it once…Then when Voldemort calls his entire Death Eaters by pressing dark mark, how will they know the place where Voldemort is? How can they apparate to that place?[/i] This is not the case for side apparation when the one side apparating must only "go along" with the other one. Maybe being called by Voldemort works in simmilar way and "pulls" Death Eather in the right direction. But this is pure speculation, it's never explained in the books. Why do I feel like I already commented on simmilar "plot holes"?

bri-marie ^Because you probably have. This has been posted at least once before this.

saraandjess2448 [i] And isn’t it just too much too assume that no one died a natural death while they had the elder wand? [/i] Well, as shown in [i] The Tale of The Three Brothers, [/i] the first brother was showing off the unbeatable wand, which caused another, unnamed man to become jealous. The second man murdered the first man, so the allegiance of the elder wand shifted to the second man. I think most of us can agree that the third owner murdered the second owner, then the fourth owner murdered the third owner, etc. Up until Dumbly, who had the sense to keep the wand a secret. Thats my theory. [i] One supplementary, also on the same night when children were evacuated from Hogwarts, how can they disparate all the children (again the same reason for not being apparating according to me.) [/i] They went through the room of requirement, to the hogs head in Hogsmeade. The no-apparition charms do not stretch to Hogsmeade, only to Hogwarts castle. [i] There’s one serious flaw in the book….how on earth was nick revived in Harry’s second year when ghosts can’t eat or drink? [/i] Maybe they just poured it through his mouth? Thats how ghosts try to eat... [i] Why Dumbledore’s wand was not snapped in two when he was buried as it was tradition in wizards to snap the wand when one was buried. [/i] Maybe they recognized it as the elder wand and decided to keep it safe in his grave, or maybe they were unable to break it (it is the most powerful wand in the world, after all) Or maybe he left it in his will that he didnt want it snapped. Theres so many possibilities on this one. [b] I think that JKR will reveal some of these things in Pottermore when she opens it to the public. Unfortunately, it is in beta, and i dont have a beta account, so i couldnt be sure exactly what secrets about the wizarding world JKR has been holding back from us all these years. [/b]

mr-cullen harry can notice Peter Pettigrew’s name on the marauders map but harry can.......how ironic of him......

mr-cullen @saraandjess2448.....had you read books??? noone was aware of elder wand even the wand maker also......they called it was just stories.........then how you can say that "they recognized it as the elder wand and decided to keep it safe in his grave" how can they recognise???

mr-cullen @all i m not HP hater(i love it)......just annoyed by comments......

ClaireVoyant ^with all of the students in hogwarts, why would he pay attention to anything but what he already knew/expected? just like when reading trough yellow pages to find a specific name, you wouldn't care about any others even if you passed your neighbour names while searching for other more important name? we can't all be sherlock.

cassie-1-2-3 This is the only article I've read that has really good Harry Potter flaws, if you want to read about some. http://www.fanpop.com/spots/harry-potter-vs-twilight/articles/42235/title/harry-potter-errors

Helena-B-Carter mr-cullen, your GREAT flaws aren't even proper flaws. Nearly all of them can be explained apart from why moody didn't make a simpler portkey. And why sound so bitter? You like Harry Potter? Are you sure you don't mean you are trying to pick holes in it to prove twilight is better? And I don't see you criticising twilight when it CLEARLY has more faults, far more.

-Harmony- ^He didn't originally made this.

-Harmony- [i]How come moody see through the invisibility cloak in 4th year when it was supposed to be one of the Hallows.[/i] The eye. [i]Fred and George did not notice Peter Pettigrew’s name on the marauders map when they had it?[/i] Maybe because they don't know who Peter is. Or they're too busy having fun with the map. [i]Neither Sirius nor Lupin told Harry about Snape and lily’s friendship?[/i] Why should they? [i]Flitwick was stunned by Snape in HBP and Snape has power over Flitwick’s wand too.[/i] Flitwick's wand wasn't an Elder Wand. There are question mark and periods on stuff when there not supposed to be.

mr-cullen @harmony even death can't see through the invisibility cloak remember stories??

mr-cullen i will make same article for twilight too

Aquilia HP Wiki is being annoying right now but I'll try. [i]How come moody see through the invisibility cloak in 4th year when it was supposed to be one of the Hallows.[/i] The magic eye. [i]How come all the order members apparate inside the hog’s head when the air around was supposed to become thick and Harry was not able to disparate from there.[/i] Hog's Head =/= Outdoors. There was a curfew in place, guarded by a cat-screech alarm. However, it does not imply that one cannot exist in one's own house. [i]One supplementary, also on the same night when children were evacuated from Hogwarts, how can they disparate all the children (again the same reason for not being apparating according to me.)[/i] What does the author mean? [i]Why Dumbledore’s wand was not snapped in two when he was buried as it was tradition in wizards to snap the wand when one was buried.[/i] Where did the author get this from? [i]Also about the elder wand. Apparently Draco Disarmed DD n thus the wand’s allegiance shifted to him. But in order it to be Harry’s, Harry needed to Disarm Draco. But I read n reread the 7th book, and Harry didn’t Disarm Draco, he merely took his wand by force. And we all know just taking a wand by force will not shift its allegiance. Then how come Harry became the elder wand’s true master?[/i] The allegiance of the Elder Wand is most fickle. It specifically seeks out the bearer with the most power. If one forcefully removes/captures the Elder Wand in battle, one has it's allegiance because one has proven to it that they are stronger. [i]There’s one serious flaw in the book….how on earth was nick revived in Harry’s second year when ghosts can’t eat or drink?[/i] They can't eat or drink yes, but that does not imply that they cannot be affected by the physical world. I'm more inclined to believe that they immersed Poor Sir Nicolas in the cure. [i]And isn’t it just too much too assume that no one died a natural death while they had the elder wand?[/i] This point being? Just as seers cannot have one hundred percent perfect prediction rates, so does the fickleness of time, fortune and prudence prevent these sort of assumptions. [i]And also, if Harry’s invisibility cloak deflects spells, how was Malfoy able to cast the spell on Harry in the sixth year?[/i] From HP Wiki: Although powerful, the Cloak of Invisibility is not infallible. While the Cloak itself resists spell damage, it does not shield the wearer from spells used against them personally. For example, Harry was immobilized while under the Cloak twice during the 1996–1997 school year. In addition, it will not hide the wearer from detection that is not based on optical sight, such as Alastor Moody's magical eye, magical creatures such as Dementors, or spells such as Homenum Revelio, or the Marauder's Map . [i]Fine Draco won the power of the Elder wand after disarming Dumbledore. He did not take the wand by force did he? And still he’s the master of the elder wand. McGonagall got stunned by 5 people, u mean to say none of them got the power of her wand because they never took it forcibly???[/i] Professor McGonagall's wand was never captured, and does bond much more strongly to the original owner. Draco in comparison, was in an unstable emotional state when he lost his personal wand's allegiance. [i]The most common one, Moody (Barty Crouch junior) could have turned anything into a portkey and sent Harry to Voldemort much earlier instead of waiting for the final task.[/i] Do you understand anything about undercover operations? One do not execute the objective until one is assured of its successful outcome, and one does not act rashly unless one wants to blow their own cover. A vanished Harry Potter in the middle of year four, while apparently safe, would have thrown Hogwarts into complete chaos and facilitated a full investigation, blowing any chance of Voldemort's return. [i]Fred and George did not notice Peter Pettigrew’s name on the marauders map when they had it?[/i] What does the name Peter Pettigrew mean to Fred and George? What level of understanding of the Marauders' Map did they have? Even if alarmed by the sight, they could have assumed that the map was malfunctioning. Besides, they had "illegally" gained possession of it, if they sought help, they'd have detention. [i]Instead of catching the Hogwarts train to come to Hogwarts, why can parents use side along apparition till Hogsmead to bring their children who don’t have a license yet? Dumbledore used the same with Harry when they went to meet Slughorn.[/i] Some parents are muggles, some parents don't have a license themselves. The assumption is that everyone has an apparition license, however, in the real world, not everyone, even eligible people have a driver's license. [i]Neither Sirius nor Lupin told Harry about Snape and lily’s friendship?[/i] One holds secrets, even from their bestest friends sometimes. [i]Flitwick was stunned by Snape in HBP and Snape has power over Flitwick’s wand too[/i] Again, Flitwick's personal wand was bonded to him much more strongly than the Elder Wand. Furthermore, there was no intention on Snape's side whatsoever of seizing Flitwick's wand. A note to the author, from Ollivander, "No two wands in the World is alike." [i]In Beedle the bard it is explained tat, the wizard loses his thinking capability as a human if transfigured to an animal… - Then in GOF, Krum transformed to a shark (of course only head part), how was he able to think properly?[/i] Animagus does think like humans, they have just assumed an animal's shape. [i]To apparate and to disparate one must know the target…at least they should have seen it once…Then when Voldemort calls his entire Death Eaters by pressing dark mark, how will they know the place where Voldemort is? How can they apparate to that place?[/i] Voldemort tells them?

-Harmony- @mr-cullen, The eye is very different from Death.

mr-cullen i mean even death cant see person in cloak how can eye see thr it???

mr-cullen is eye something hallow or something powerful thing??

theelderwand The whole 'death' thing was just a myth, not the truth so 'death' did not exist to see the cloak.

missdada15 You call that flaws? I agree with @Helena-B-Carter,you keep criticising Harry Potter,and defending Twilight yet you say you like bout.. ..sure,maybe you do like bout but it's clear to everyone i thing that you like Twilight better. (Not fighting,just pointing out my opinion in a much better way then you did on the article i posted.)

mr-cullen the article is missdada about flaws in harry potter .....show me article made by me which say twilight is better than hp and i made article for flaws in twilight also......

cassie-1-2-3 Does it even matter if he likes (or doesn't like) Twilight more than Harry Potter? I don't know why you guys are giving him such a hard time about it. It IS allowed to like Harry Potter, but Twilight moreso. You guys aren't superior to him because of it, and he shouldn't have to prove his loyalty to Harry Potter for you guys.

mr-cullen exactly........thanks cassie

nemo1443 Hey.. At least this person actually read the books, unlike some others who make up some random facts after what they've seen in movie trailers or book reviews...
